The world of “Apps” has grown from only supporting web browsers and emails to the current gigantic platform supporting over 8.3 million apps globally. However, what are at the core of the Internet? If we dig deeper under the surface of the Internet, would it help us to understand better of the security, privacy and ethics issues of the digital world? In this talk, we’ll explore the fundamentals and challenges of the Internet architecture and its design, and discuss ways of observing the activities of the Internet from under its surface.D﻿r. Ping Ji is a Full Professor in Computer Science of the City University of New York’ John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Graduate Center. Currently, Dr. Ji also serves as the Executive Officer of the Computer Science PhD Program and the Director of the Data Science Master’s Program of CUNY GC. Throughout her 20 years career at CUNY, Dr. Ji has pioneered many initiatives on both academic and administration sides. Dr. Ji is a founding faculty and a key contributor of John Jay College’s Digital Forensics Master’s program, and the founding director of CUNY Graduate Center’s Master’s program in Data Science. Dr. Ji's research interests include Network Measurements and Data Analysis, Security Monitoring Strategies for Computer &amp; Wireless Networks, Network Security, Mobile Networks, and Internet of Things (IoT). Her work has been published in well recognized professional journals and conference proceedings including IEEE/ACM Transaction on Networking (ToN), ACM SigComm, ACM SigKDD, Performance Evaluation, etc. Dr. Ji is the recipient of a number of research fundings and awards from the National Science Foundation and other government agencies. Dr. Quanyan Zhu (NYU) - "﻿Guarding Against Insider Threats (GAIT): Proactive Mitigation of Human Cognitive Vulnerabilities and Ethical Reflection" Insider threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, exploiting human vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. To combat this growing threat, a proactive approach is necessary to strengthen the cognitive security of insiders who may suffer from attention deficits, lack of accountability, and insufficient incentives for compliance. In this talk, our aim is to explore the cognitive vulnerabilities of humans and present various assistive technologies that can mitigate insider threats by creating incentives, guiding attention, and fostering resilience. Additionally, we will examine ethical issues related to privacy and counter-deception, and propose a human-centered design for insider threat mitigation mechanisms using the doctrine of cyber effects as a framework.Dr. Quanyan Zhu is an associate professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, New York University (NYU). He is an affiliated faculty member of the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) and Center for Cyber Security (CCS) at NYU. His current research interests include cognitive security, AI and game theory, cyber and physical system resilience, automation and robotics. He currently serves as the technical committee chair on security and privacy for IEEE Control Systems Society.
